PAPER-HANGERS APPARATUS.

SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 591,957, dated October19, 1897. A umion filed A ri 27,1897. Serial No. 634,101. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, OREN M. DEETS, a citizen of the United States,residing at Youngstown, in the county of Mahoning and State of Ohio,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Paper-HangersApparatus; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exactdescription of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in theart to which it appertain's to make and use the same, reference beinghad to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference markedthereon, which form a part of this specification.

My invention relates to means employed by workmen in the art ofpaper-hanging for the embellishment of walls and ceilings of dwellingsand other buildings, and is a paper-hangers apparatus having for itsobjects the saving of labor and a higher degree of accuracy in the evendistribution of paste upon the paper than can ordinarily be given by themost skilled workman operating under present methods. The means forefiecting these objects will appear as this specification proceeds.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a front view as seen from the table side ofmy paperhangers apparatus. Fig. 2 is a side view of the same. Fig. 3 isa vertical cross-section of the same, and Fig. 4 is a horizontalcrosssection view on the section-line 4 at of Fig. 2.

Parts are indicated by letters and similar letters refer to similarparts in all views.

At the end T of a paper-hangers table is secured a cross-piece T,overhanging the said table at its ends. Secured to the said overhang arethe parallel supporting-hangers H, carrying at their lower ends themovable bearing or boxing B, the use of which will be hereinafterdescribed. One of the said hangers H, projecting some distance lowerthan the other, is bent into an eye or bearing D in which is journaledthe gudgeon D of the paste-roller D, partially retained in the paste-panS, pivotally secured to a lateral lug h of the hanger H and which pan ismaintained in position by the rod a hooking into the table T. Themovable boxing B, before described as sliding on the hanger H, iscontrolled bya spiral springs, seated on'a guiderod 1), and within saidmovable box is journaled the sectional shaft comprising the rod p,telescoping Within the hollow rod 1), and upon which shaft is rotatablymounted the roller B, designed to hold the roll of paper and separablespools or' rollers X, the purpose of which will be later described.

Bolted'or otherwise secured to the hangers H are the flaring arms H,with eyes at their ends in which are journaled the gu'dgeons of therespective rolls R and R, whose use will be later described.

Secured beneath the cross-piece T are the depending guard-plates G, thelower ends of which are so bifurcated as to straddle and rest upon theroller B. Secured to the crosspiece T are the brackets H, journaled inwhich are the gudgeons of the roller R. The roller R is designed to liein close juxtaposition to the paste-roller D, whereby the paste isevenly distributed and all lumps crushed. The rollers R and R aredesigned to guide the paper web, as disclosed in the operation of thedevice. 1

When the apparatus is in place ready for work, a roll of paper is placedon the roller B by withdrawing the telescopic sectional shaft therefrom,removing said roller B, inserting it in the paper-bolt common towallpaper trade, then replacing the same and reinserting the saidsectional shaft, and a quantity of paste. sufficient to spread itselfupon the roller D in the tank S, the paste-distributing roller B beingdesigned to evenly distribute the paste over the roller D and press outany lumps therein. The workman passes the edge of the paper between thepaper-roller B and the paste-rollerD and thence under'the small rollerR. It is then drawn upward passing over the small roller R. to a flatposition upon the table where it is cut for hanging. The movement of thepaper rotates the several rollers whereby the workman, by simply drawinghis paper to him on the boards or tables, finds it ready pasted and withan exact evenness that cannot be secured by methods done by hand. So itwill be seen that the work of one man is dispensed with and betterresults obtained. To replace a roll of paper upon the roller B, and tosupply the tank S with paste, are each but the work of a moment.

What I claim is 1. A paper-hanging machine comprising a table, hangersdepending therefrom, a paperroller adj ustably j ournaled to saidhangers, a paste-roller also journaled to said hangers, a paste-pansupported by said hangers combined with a paste-distributing roller andguide-rollers all substantially as described.

2. A paper-hangers apparatus comprising a table, depending hangerssecured thereto, a paper-roller removably and adjustably journaledthereto, a paste-roller j ournaled to said hangers, a paste-pan thereforand a pastedistributing roller combined with the paperguide rollerssubstantially as described.

3. A paper-l1angers apparatus comprising a table,l1angers dependingtherefrom,a pasteroller and a paste-distributing roller journaled tosaid hangers, an adjustable jou rnalbox sliding on said hangers, atelescoping sectional shaft journaled in said bearings, a paper-rollerrotating on said shaft combined with a paste-pan and guide-rollerssubstantially as described.

4. A paper-hangers apparatus comprising atable, hangers dependingtherefrom, a pasteroller, a paste-distributing roller and a guiderollerjournaled to said hanger, a paste-pan for said paste-roller, bearingsslidably mounted on the hangers, springs controlling the said slidingbearings, the sectional telescopic shaft rotating in said bearings, theroller mounted on said shaft, the depending guideplates secured to thetable and resting on said roller, and the spools rotatably mounted onthe sectional shaft substantially as described.

5. A paper-hangers apparatus comprising a table,hangers dependingtherefrom,a pasteroller, a paste-distributing roller and aguiderollerjournaled to said hangers, lateral lugs projecting from said hangers, apaste-pan pivotally secured to said lugs and means for tipping said panto any desired angle.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in presence of two Witnesses.

OREN M. DEETS.
